PAC BUYING

PROPRIETORY ARTICLE CERTIFICATE

(PAC )

If any buyer wants to purchase a Particular Brand / Model of any product, then the

buyer has to obtain a ‘Proprietary Article Certificate’ from the competent authority of his organization and make procurement through ‘PAC Buying’ option available on

GeM Portal.

For making procurement of a product, through ‘PAC Buying’ option on GeM Portal, the Total Order Value shall be less than Rs, 30 Lakh, except Automobiles.

In case of Automobiles, there is no monetary ceiling on the Total Order Value for making purchases through

‘PAC Buying’.

Automobiles (Ambulances, Automotive Chassis fitted with Engine, Built-up

Trucks, Buses, Cars, Two Wheelers, Utility Vehicles, etc) must be purchased through

‘PAC Buying ‘.

Let us examine purchase of a product, other than Automobiles, through ‘PAC Buying ‘.
